CHURCH MAG

The Biggest Reason to Hate the Super Bowl

Posted By Eric Dye on February 5, 2012

Today, over 100 million people will clamor around televisions to watch the Super Bowl.

It is the most watched program on television every year, and as ChurchMag explores the intersection of Church and technology, this cannot be overlooked. Never in human history can so many experience the same event, at the same time. Through television, radio and the World Wide Web, the Super Bowl is followed throughout the world.

With that kind of attention, comes big bucks from advertisers and sponsors, who go to great lengths to capitalize on all of this attention. So much so, there are those that watch the Super Bowl, just for the ads.

However, none of these things are really a reason to hate the Super Bowl.

A Cathedral of 55,000 LED Lights

Posted By Eric Dye on February 5, 2012

This is a truly inspiring cathedral of lights, using 55,000 LEDs!

The Luminarie De Cagna is an imposing cathedral-like structure that was recently on display at the 2012 Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium. The festival was host to almost 30 exhibitions including plenty of 3D projection mapping, fields of luminous flowers, and a glowing phone booth aquarium, however with 55,000 LEDs and towering 28 meters high the Luminarie De Cagna seems to have stolen the show.

Learning Worship from Super Bowl Fanatics

Posted By Eric Dye on February 5, 2012

The prayer of New England Patriot fans:

Our Brady, who art in Foxborough, hallowed be thy arm.
Thy bowl will come, it will be won, in Indy as it is in New England.
Give us these two weeks, our daily practices, and give us many touchdown passes, but do not let the Giants pass against us.
Lead us not into frustration, but deliver us to the valley of the sun.
For thine is the MVP, the best of the AFC, and the glory of the Patriots, now and forever, AMEN

In all seriousness, there is a deep spiritual lesson we can learn from all of these football fans who will be losing their voices, today, on Super Bowl Sunday.

An EPIC stand off:

None shall pass!
No, you shall not pass!

This could go on for quite some time:

Enjoy!

These are the roots of computing.

It’s amazing to see the early uses and purposes of computing.

My favorite ad is the Thomas Edison dictation machines.

How about you?

About Us:

We've been insanely-interested in exploring how the Church, ministries, and non-profits use technology to effectively fulfill their mission to the world.

With a small blog that started in September of 2008 we grew faster than we had ever dared to dream expanding into a network of blogs that reached more than a quarter million people every single month.

In May of 2011 we re-focused our efforts bringing all of the content back into one solidified brand - a "digital magazine" of resources that still serve the same industries and that still has the same curious heartbeat that started this movement.

Join us - there is still much to be explored.
